Growth spurt?

Hi Guys, just after a bit of reasurance that my lovely angelic lad hasn't actually turned into the baby from hell! Barney was two weeks old on Tuesday and has been sleeping really well, up untill last night. He woke at 12 for a feed, about 2 hours earlier than he had been waking, fed and went straight back to sleep. He then woke up at 3 but it took us untill 5.30 to get him back to sleep, he fed as normal but was sick every time I put him down, then wanted more food because he had been sick, oh finally managed to get him down in his cot but he woke up again at 6.30 demanding more food! He had about an hours nap in bed with us at 7.30 but apart from that has refused to go down for a nap today and has just been feeding constantly. I have just spent an hour and a half feeding him!!! He had both sides twice! Is he too young for this to be his first growth spurt? I know they normally have one about three weeks so I am hoping that this is all that is the matter but I just wondered what you all thought. He was a week late so maybe he thinks he is three weeks now lol.CheersKerrry xx

Oh, that's good to hear! I am actually pleased that he has decided to have it early. Oh is still on paternity leave untill next week, can't imagine how I would entertain Millie whilst constantly feeding if I was here on my own!xx

hi hun,id say yes its a growth spurt!grace was exactly the same.Her biggest growth spurt was at about 5-6 weeks where i had a night when she fed for 4 hrs!!lol she did put a lb on when i got her weighed!! xx

As you know, Reiss has been on a growth spurt since birth! He did settle down for a couple of days where he actually slept for 5 hours overnight in one go, but last night back to his usual 3 hourly feeds and then up at 4.30, 6 and was up for the day. Takes him ages to settle as well. Think these hungry boys just need stocking up - hopefully it will even out eventually and they'll start to feed less and sleep more!xx

well im wondering if grace is on another growth spurt,unless its cuz she has a cold??she fed constantly last night all afternoon n evening n didnt settle till 11.30 last night which isnt like her!she needs 2 stop growing so much as her clothes r gettin tight again!!had her weighed yday n shes almost 13lb at 9 weeks!!little porker lol xx
